Re: carrying HK USP cocked and locked

sar wrote:I have a usp-c in 40. It's designed so it can be carried with a round in the chamber, hammer back, safety on. I know a few folks who say they carry these in condition 1. To be clear, I have no problem with a 1911 cocked and locked and have carried that way (in fact that's the only way I carry a 1911) However the grip safety adds a measure of comfort to my carrying that way and the HK doesn't have one. If the safety inadvertently flipped off, then you're carrying cocked with no safety.
I realize that the trigger still needs to be pressed, but still is concerning in single action..
any input or experience?
If it concerns you, don't carry that way. If you prefer a grip safety for cocked and locked, that's your choice. Just remember that the grip safety on the 1911 blocks the trigger but it doesn't block the hammer or sear.
